The injection that the trio retrieved displays a very clear result. In two hours, Wen Bin's stubborn high fever eventually recedes, the boy regaining conscious when evening came. He manages to eat a bowl of porridge before falling asleep once more...
During the apocalypse, don't say a mouthful of beef congee, as long as it is edible food, it is already precious beyond comparison. Eating a mouthful of porridge, Wen Bin refuses to eat any more.
"Why are you not eating? Your body requires sustenance to fully recover. Eat more so you can recuperate quickly." Chewing on a mantou, Li Qing stares at the daydreaming youth in sitting in bed.
Two days ago, Wen Bin regained consciousness and Qin Jun announced there is nothing more to worry about after giving him a full-body checkup. However, he still needs to rest in order to recover, which is why for this past couple of days, the food Wen Bin was fed with is better than the other survivor's.
"Senior Li Qing...where is Senior Zhou? Why haven't I seen him ever since I woke up? Did something happen to him or..." Is he annoyed with me? A desolate expression surfaces on Wen Bin's face as the last sentence sticks in his throat, unsaid.
Ever since he regained consciousness, a lot of people staying in the school came to visit, even Senior Yuan (HZY) who is the obstacle between him and his love also came...but Zhou Xingfeng didn't appear even once.
"Eh? Oh, it's nothing! Nothing happened! How can anything happen to that fool of a brother Zhou? Hahaha!" Seeing that miserable expression, Li Qing offers Wen Bin his trademark dazzling smile. "You just woke up. First, you need to eat more and recover your strength, which is why Brother Zhou is outside running here and there to find rice for you. If not, how are you able to have beef congee when you wake up?"
"Is that so..." Hearing that Zhou Xingfeng is fine and is also scavenging food for him, Wen Bin's expression eases into a smile. But as a stray thought strike him, his expression falls again. "Isn't it dangerous? There are so many zombies outside...if Senior is bitten...what should we do? I don't need to keep eating porridge. My body has recovered already. I want to see Senior, I want to see if he's tired or not..."
"Eh...he's always behaving like a monkey every day. How is he exhausted? Also, he always leaves with older brother Long and little Yuan. Nothing will happen to him. Older brother Long is a soldier and is super strong. Little Yuan has this awesome ability to block zombie attacks. Nothing will be able to scratch them. If you want to see him, then be good and eat your food. Don't make him worry. Then once you have fully recovered, he wouldn't need to keep going out and you can see him every day." Li Qing's facial muscles are fast becoming cramped from maintaining the false smile. On top of that, lying to people is really not his forte ah!
Zhou Xingfeng returned from the trip to the hospital with a bite on his back. As the injury is a grave one, he barely managed to catch a glimpse of a still unconscious Wen Bin before he locked himself in a vacant dormitory room, forbidding anyone from entering. Because Huo Zaiyuan places a plate of food on the windowsill every day for him to eat, everyone else finally come to know that he hasn't turned yet.
As for scavenging for food outside, this is of course, completely blather. There are more than a few survivors in the school, and now with Zhou Xingfeng's condition, no one is there to lead them. For a period of time, there will be no one willing to brave the outside world to search for food supplies. Hence, the rice and meat were provided by Huo Zaiyuan. In order not to be suspected by anyone, he cooks it in his space before serving it.
"Un, I'll be good and finish my porridge...I would let Senior worry about me." Wen Bin nods obediently, then begins to eat.
Wen Bin doesn't know if it is simply his misconception, but he feels this congee is more delicious than the ones he ate before. And although it has only been a mere two days, the rate his body is recovering at is extraordinary, and a gentle warmth circulates within...it is a very comfortable feeling.
